Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are actively seeking to strengthen their attacking options, with the Gunners pursuing Viktor Gyokeres.
Amidst a flurry of rumors, Mirror Football compiles the most recent Premier League transfer updates in anticipation of the weekend’s matches.
Gunners submit Gyokeres offer
Arsenal has proposed a contract to Viktor Gyokeres valued at £7 million annually after tax, marking a significant step towards acquiring the striker. The Swedish player netted 43 goals last season, contributing to Sporting Lisbon’s victory in the Primeira Liga.
This season, he has surpassed that achievement with 52 goals, as Sporting only needs to match Benfica’s outcome this weekend to clinch a second consecutive title. However, Gyokeres is unlikely to remain for a third attempt at the Portuguese championship.
Arsenal is eager to secure his services, with A Bola indicating that they have extended a lucrative £7 million salary offer, which the striker is inclined to accept. It is reported that the Gunners will delay making a formal bid to Sporting until after the Taca de Portugal final on May 25.
Man Utd in advanced talks
Beukema confirms Slot talks
Speaking to The Telegraph, Beukema said: “My uncle was even more excited than me! It was a really good conversation and he showed me things that I hadn’t thought of before.
“You could see he approached football differently to other managers and I had a really good feeling – and so did my uncle. He told me to go there but I said, ‘let’s wait’.”
